Senator Adam Ebbin has introduced legislation which would not allow Virginia to fund or contract adoption agencies who discriminate against prospective parents on the basis of ‘race, religion, national origin, sex, age, family status, disability, sexual orientation or gender identity.’

I was quite pleased to vote for a VA constitutional amendment that says ‘marriage’ means what you think it does. And I hope that this Postmodern attempt by Ebbin to conflate the notion of ‘family’ with the Left’s usual nihilistic nonsense fails as utterly as the European societies that follow these ideas.

What people get up to in private is their own business. But if their activities cannot bear fruit, then attempting to use legislation to overcome fruitless personal choices, and tearing up the traditional father (XY) and mother (XX) definition of ‘family’ is absolutely not the answer.

Note the verb tense. That vote occurred a couple years ago. Apartheid? Really? I respect your freedom to but utterly wrong, but I am personally incapable of agreeing with these modern, bogus attempts at breaking traditional Western symbols.

smitty, I think that is the key to how you feel: These are Traditional Western symbols. They certainly aren’t universal in Non-Western (i.e. Non-Christian) societies, nor have they been universal, or even terribly common, prior to the past few thousand years of human history. I understand your religious feelings on the issue of marriage, but Civil Marriage and Religious Marriage are separate entities.

I am committed to attacking the foul Postmodernist falsehoods besetting us across the board.
I submit that if we are not defending family and marriage, we should just relax and be assimilated into the Leftist Borg.

Yes, sir, I respect that on your part. But I could not disagree more. I don’t believe in legislating religious sentiment, no matter how well intended. Many forms of “marriage” have existed in both Modern times (witness the Mosuo of China) and premodern societies. Neither has destroyed humanity as we know it.

I respect that logical consistency sir. It is uncommon. I still disagree, but at least you are an honest and logical man.

Smitty, discussing such issues withe leftist Borg collective is an exercise in utter futility. They will respect your right to say and hold what you believe, but lip service is all it is.

The reason Western Civ is what it is, is because of the social norms that formed it. They are not “religious sentiments” but a recognition of what works. Appealing to systems that have characterized 3rd world hell holes is buffoonery at best, and idiocy at its worst.

Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people. Postmodernism is all about sin at its core.

What fucking drivel. Name for all of us the societies past that have labeled two men who dig screwing each other in the asshole a “family”.
This isn’t a religious issue. It’s a matter of simple sanity.

You people are lower than whale shit liars.

I’d say they are religious sentiments, and the reason they work is because those sentiments reflect reality as designed by its Creator.
